carinalochnerDescription
Small shrub about 25 cm high, flowers about 6 mm long, only one plant seen.
Unfortunately I forgot to give Linkie the stukkies for ID. My own attempt at dissecting almost dry material a bit of a disaster but I'm hoping that we can get an ID.

chris_whitehouseDescription
This appears to be an undescribed species of Euchaetis. The ovary is 3-loculed but the only species of Euchaetis that is supposed to have 3 locules is E. tricarpellata from Piketberg (or maybe it is not a Euchaetis!)
